Mecael"You could have told me!" I gritted through clenched teeth."Why? So you could run away?""I don't run away from things dad." I countered."Then go back to the base. You have been out here for long enough Arden!"My body stiffened when he used my second name. "Why? Why now?""Because you are needed over there.""Not because you think I'm not doing much for the organization?""And that. You need to get back in shape.""No!" "It's not like you have any other choice.""I have a wife!" I exclaimed.Talking to my father was ever pointless. He'd stick to his point and refuse to see anything else."Then get rid of her!" His statement was harsh. I clenched my fists and unclenched them. A part of me contemplated on pulling out a gun. We both knew how that always ended so I did not. Still the desire to kill him ran through my blood.My eyes bore into his. Neither of us wanting to break the contact first."You are the one who pushed me to marry her!" I barked. My throat hurt from the w
Aria"I don't know Lionne." He was suggesting that I invite my father. He was a pro at causing a ruckus and I was so not ready for that."He is our father. He will be happy for you.""Why don't we focus on the other parts then we shall think about that later.""The guest list." I groan and hit my face with the notepad I was writing on."You have no friends?" "None whatsoever.""You just used whatsoever in a sentence that is not an essay."I flip my hair. "Yeah. That's just how smart I am." I compose myself and focus on him. "But you'll come,right?""I won't be there during the ceremony but I'll be there afterwards." I point at him. "Don't miss.""Now that you have no friends and apparently no family,who are you going to put in the guest list?""I'll invite Alex. Oh and Liz.""Wow girl. Thought you said you are not a fun of ruckus. Seems like you are desiring it.""I…" I had no excuse to give. I wanted them there. Liz had opened up and told me the truth about most things that were h
Aria"I am so fucking nervous." I paced up and down."It's four in the morning and I'm fucking sleepy.""Wait." I jump forward. "Did you and Greg talk? Are you guys cool now? I hope I did not mess things up between you two. Did he…""Hey. Hey. Hey. Breathe in…out…" I follow his directions for three times. "Good. Now tell me why we are talking about my master and I when it's your day?" His voice rose at the end."What if he backs down? Or he does not show up? Mecael is unpredictable so he…""He loves you and he can never do that." Lionne spoke slowly. He yawns."I'm so sorry for waking you up at this hour. It's just that I'm so nervous and I did not know what to do so…"He covers his mouth while yawning. "No…no…it's okay." He says mid his yawn."Aww. I'm so happy and so nervous and I don't know what to do.""How about you get some shut eye for the next two and a half hours? I'll sing you to sleep.""Okay." I lay on the bed and cover myself. Lionne's voice came across the room. It was
MecaelMy eyes glistened as I watched Aria getting escorted by my father down the aisle. She looked heavenly in her flowing gown. The bouquet she was carrying matches the ones I had brought her to the graduation. She moved slowly. I saw like she was flowing to me.She radiated charm and elegance as she made her was towards me. I wished that she could move faster and be next to me. She had insisted on a small gathering. The only people around were his father who was licked up this morning,my father whom I had a heated argument with early this morning, Greg and the bodyguards.She stepped on the flowers gently like she was trying to not break them even though they could not possibly break. They finally got to me. My smile beamed. Father gave me a quich hug,he patted my back twice. He then reached for my hand and connected it with Aria's. Her hands were so soft. I rubbed my thumb against her skin. Her eyes did not meet mine.Father smiled and stepped back. I smiled back because for on
Mecael"Don't pack the whole closet, sweetheart.""It's your fault if I Carry this whole house." She pulled more clothes from the closet. "I don't know what I shall need or not. What if I get there and realize I need something I left resting at home,eh? Then what?"I went around the bed. I reached out and took the clothes in her hands. I put them back in the closet. "You won't be needing this, darling." She pouted. I kissed her lips."Then what will I need?" She whined."A few things…""What if I need something else?" She flapped her hands. I hold them and kiss her knuckles."Then we'll get them from there." I assured her. It took a lot to convince her to carry only one bag. "It's only been two days since our wedding why…""Shhh princess. Let's not think too much right now.""My brain refuses to shut down!" We were getting escorted to the outside by two bodyguards.We got into the first car. The bags were carried in the other one that consisted of three more bodyguards, excluding th
AriaMecael had really pushed himself. Today was the last day in our two weeks honeymoon. The first day was,romantic sunrise. We stayed in exquisite water villa at song saa private island. We hit the road on the second day. We blasted music and took turns in driving. Well he took the wheel after he thought I was going to crush. The day ended with us hugging Billabung Koala at Port Macquarie.I got to swim in the Devil's pool through Zambezi river. The Victoria falls in Zambia were out of breathe. We went to Thailand. In Bangkok we made a wish for togetherness. We indulged in festivities. The date night was super romantic. The dinner was something to live for.On the capture day,which was the eight day,we went to exotic water bungalows. I did not want to relive the day ever again because feeding sharks that could easily turn me into their meal was not something I would want to do. It was exhilarating but worth the faces I made. My children would one day tease me about it,but who kno
AriaThe ride back home was unnecessarily long. Mecael had me cuddled against him. He used that to avoid me looking at his face. His muscles were so tensed that no one would believe he had an hour of massage. My breathing was steady. I listened to his heartbeat. The rythm was strong and powerful. Each thump signifying how anxious he was. The call had successfully managed to throw him in a whirlwind. I could only imagine the anxiety brewing at his pit.We landed and were escorted to the car. The driver's speed scared me to death. Whatever it was we were rushing to,I had a feeling that it was not something good.Soon as we arrived,Mecael swung the door open and stepped outside. I quickly followed behind after thanking the driver. He took on the same route. I was closely behind him. His strides were huge and I had a hard time keeping up. He swung the door open "Why did you just summon me?" His voice thundered across the room as we entered.I took a minute to examine the environment. A
Mesta"Fucking mission!" Alex cussed as he tightened his boots. "Why do we need to go when we have hired people for that work!" He continued with his grumbling."Well you could have spoke up when you were being asked to go in the first place.""As if that old man would listen to me!" He kicked his leg when the other boot refused to fir in properly."What about you Mecael?"He frowned. "What about me?""Are you coming with us or no one can tell you what to do."He checked if his gun was filled. "It's like he wants us all to die. Sending us at that stupid club where he knows all the guards will be. Did I mention how heavily armed they will be. And who's this woman we are going to rescues?" He removed the shoes that he had already wore. He switched the pair with other ones that were way lighter.I fastened the band around both my thighs. Today was one of those days where I just had to wear dresses. I resented such days. I tucked in my guns and knives. "My fighting skills are like Mecae
